Meanwhile, the final version of HSBC’s privately compiled version of the China manufacturing PMI index, released Monday, also showed improvement. The figure rose to 50.5 from 49.5 in October, its first move above 50 in more than a year.

HSBC chief China economist Hongbin Qu said the data confirmed that the Chinese economy “continues to recover gradually. We expect [gross domestic product] growth to rebound modestly to around 8% in the fourth quarter as the easing measures continue to filter through.”
